[owen] His highness lord Obama.

[Mark Owen]

I like the fact that Obama has not spent his entire life in Washington. He
has a nice smile.  I like the same things about Palin. I like the fact that
McCain was willing to break the mold. I am also glad the democrats were
willing to also.

Sarah Palin is willing to say some positive things about the  
Democrats. I admire that.

 From what I can find, she supported the proposed Knik Arm and  
Gravina Island bridges, and killed state funding only when the  
project got national guffaws, and Congress refused to provide federal  
funds
